    Starfield: Shattered Space Review - May the Great Serpent Save Us

    Starfield is, without a doubt, one of the most controversial games ever made by Bethesda. While it is undoubtedly a solid role-playing game that offers a vast world to explore and some gripping stories, it suffers from a certain lack of focus, evident in some of its elements, such as subpar exploration and traversal, the procedurally generated elements which end up being very repetitive, and a generally dated feel mostly represented by the loading screens that separate different areas.

    While I still generally enjoy the experience, my opinion of Starfield has soured a bit in the past year or so. After re-experiencing Cyberpunk 2077 with the 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty expansion, it has become difficult to look past some of the game's archaisms, the lack of engaging activities, average quest design, combat, and progression systems with very limited options. All these issues are, in my opinion, exacerbated by the Shattered Space expansion, which offers, for better or worse, more Starfield while also taking somewhat of a step back in regards to what sets the game apart from every other RPG developed by Bethesda.

    [...]

    The Starfield Shattered Space expansion leaves a lot to be desired. While it introduces a more focused and engaging story compared to the base game, the average map and quest design, along with the lack of new features, turn the adventure in Va'Ruun'kai into a bit of a slog rather quickly. Although the tighter focus is welcome, the Starfield experience as a whole needs something more substantial to reach its full potential.

    Score: 6/10
